Our Program

Our Program is based on approved lesson plans developmentally appropriate for all ages. We cater our lessons according to children’s age groups as well as individual needs. We believe children learn through experience and their surrounding environment; therefore, we enrich their overall experience with practical life activities, in class work activities, field trips and environment perception through play. We believe that through appropriately monitored play, children learn: respect, responsibility, creativity & independence. 

Our day begins with circle time allowing all the children to be part of story reading, music and / or games.  We then separate children into smaller groups allowing them to feel comfortable with their activities while maximizing teacher participation and guidance. Our classrooms are setup into sections allowing children to be exposed to a wide variety of experiences such as reading in our Library Corner; role playing at our Dramatic Play Area; painting, coloring and writing at our Art/ Writing Center; building/assembling/creating at our Manipulative Center. In addition we also encourage children to learn through play by allowing them to use their inside and outside classrooms as tools to practice their creativity, study science while developing their senses and motor skills.

Our program also encourages participation from parents by allowing an open communication between parent/ teacher and front staff. Progress reports are sent twice a year during our evaluation period in order to allow parents to see their children’s development throughout the school year.

Our program is also supported by extracurricular programs such as dance programs, karate and swimming lessons (during summer months). Some of our fun and educational field trips include: Hogle Zoo, The Aquarium, Wheeler Farm, Tracy Aviary and Discovery Gateway.

Developmentally Appropriate Practice (DAP):

This research based practice says that the teacher looks at his/her age group when planning. Within the lesson plan book the teacher have a basic development idea for the daily activities. In DAP, assessment and curriculum are integrated. Teachers continually engage in assessment for the purpose of improving teaching and learning. The results of assessment are used to benefit children in adapting curriculum, teaching to meet learning  and developmental needs, communicating with families, and evaluating program effectiveness.
